The aim of this assignment is to describe, analyze and reflect a specific scenario throughout my time in special care baby unit (SCBU).. The concept of reflective practice, popularized by Schön’s (1983) work, has been applied in nursing for various purposes, including as a way to narrow the gap between theory and practice in clinical practice(Clarke, 1986) and a way to discover knowledge embedded in practice (Benner at al. 1996). Reflection, or thinking about our experiences, is the key to learning

U.S. Environmental Policy Critique The inception of U.S. Environmental policy most notably began under the Presidency of Richard Nixon; Nixon oversaw the passage of the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act and the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The Clean Water Act of 1972, in particular, enacted stringent laws to prevent pollutants from entering navigable waters, outlawing open sewers from dumping crud into a local stream and the law also protects land that filters

Siyana Praskov Professor Fair Microbiology MCB4404 2017 Scientific Article Analysis of Role of Phenol-Soluble Modulins in Formation of Staphylococcus aureus Biofilms in Synovial Fluid Abstract and Introduction Recently, Stapylococcus aureus joint infection pathogenesis has become a major burden for patients and healthcare providers. A unique biofilm formation process allows bacteria to resist standard treatments used for infections. Specifically, a serious medical issue confronted by orthopedic

- Spermicidal agents: Vaginal spermicides consist of a base combined with either nonoxynol-9 or octoxynol. The actual spermicidal agent consists of a surfactant that destroys the cell membrane of sperm. Bases include vaginal foams, suppositories, jellies, films, foaming tablets, and creams. These must be inserted into the vagina before each intercourse. Utilization of spermicidal agents also reduces the possibility of infection by both viral and bacterial organisms that cause STDs; however, clinical

In this essay the writer will outline the possible reasons for premature birth, how it could be prevented by both the mother and health care professionals, as well as the possible health outcomes of a baby that has been born prematurely. This includes both short and long term health complications and the possibility of developing mental or physical disabilities . Finally the writer will look at the costs associated with the care of premature babies that is funded by the National Health Service (NHS)

Where Nc= number of molecules per unit cell (Z=8), A= molecular weight of Cu0.5Ni0.5Fe2O4 (236.81 g.mole-1), Vc= unit cell volume (584.172x10-24cm3) and Na=Avogadro’s number (6.023x1023 molecules.mole-1). The measured theoretical density (ρth) was found to be 5.3844g.cm-3. The apparent density of pellet specimens sintered at 850oC and 1050oC was measured by using Ultrapycnometer 1000 which was varified by Archimedes buoyancy Principle and was found to be 4.8 g.cm-3 and 5.02 g.cm-3 respectively.

Desalination and its Impact Authors: 1*Miles Smith Affiliations:1Dartmouth College *Correspondence to: Miles.F.W.Smith.19@dartmouth.edu Abstract: In the last few decades, large scale desalination plants have been constructed in countries where water scarcity is an issue in hopes of providing these countries with additional water resources. As the number of water crises increases globally, the number of desalination plants is expected to increase as well. Although the technology has rapidly advanced

Bowel cancer is the second leading cancer in Australia with over 90 % of whom over 50 years old (Bowel Cancer Australia, 2014). Every year, over 17,000 people are newly diagnosed with bowel cancer (Cancer Council Australia, 2015). The most common treatment for all stages of bowel cancer is removing the cancer and forming a stoma which may help people to maintain the maximum function of their digest system. Depending on the patient’s situation, the colostomy can be reversed to recover the function

Nicotinamide coenzymes (NAD(P)+/NAD(P)H) are the most frequently used cofactors for consumer chemicals manufactured using biocatalysts(1). Commonly, the cost of cofactors significantly exceeds the product value. Consequently, the requirement and the high cost of these cofactors has limited the adoption of isolated biocatalysts to the production of high-value specialty chemicals. To make an industrial biosynthesis economically feasible the consumed cofactors must be recycled. NADH regeneration technologies
